  • Exemplar Texts for Grades
    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.

  • Let's Talk About Our Hair
    ALUMNI GAZETTE Let’s Talk about Our Hair Revelations from Hair: A Human History, by Yale dermatologist, pathologist, and hair follicle expert Kurt Stenn ’65M (MD). By Karen McCally ’02 (PhD) Talking about our hair: it’s rarely considered a weighty conversation. Yet hair is a fascinating subject. Kurt Stenn ’65M (MD) has devoted his career to studying its biology—as director of skin biology for Johnson & Johnson, professor of pathology and derma- tology at Yale School of Medicine, and chief scientific officer for a biotech company devoted to hair follicle regeneration. In the past 10 years, he’s broadened his study of hair to take on its cultural role. Incorpo- rating the observations of anthropologists, stylists, and wigmakers in addition to scientists, Hair: A Human History gives hair an overdue treatment. Here are some highlights. The loss of body hair among hominids was a necessary precondition to human evolution. Darwin argued that human ancestors began to lose their fur because male hominids preferred hair-scarce females. Expert opinion is now coalescing around the view that fur loss occurred due to other types of evolutionary advantages. Three simulta- neous events—the loss of body hair, the development of sweat glands, and the growth of the hominid brain to a recognizably human form—appear to have been interdependent. Exposed skin and sweat glands facilitated body temperature control, aiding foraging in the heat. Brain tissue, which is highly sensitive to elevated temperatures, thrived in new ways as hominids began to lose their fur. Men have worried about male pattern baldness for thousands of years.
